Accounting Information Systems

Introduction

Today’s successful IT organization cannot be hierarchical. It must be fluid team based, and driven by roles and skills. Problems must be “swarmed”, an project or crisis teams often must be assembled on a just-in-time, ad hoc basis to ensure that the right skills are in place to deliver service on time, on budget, an to the right user constituency.

The skills needed in today’s IT organization are as varied as those needed in any business unit in the company. All

types of skills are necessary, not just technical skills. For IT people to advance, they need to develop capabilities

related to project management, financial management, performance measurement, one-on-one and group

communications as well as written communications, organizational and people development, and relationship

management. (Lutchen, Mark D, 2004, Managing IT as A Business : A Survival Guide for CEOs, John Wiley and

Sons, Inc.)

The development of information technology impacts significantly on various fields and activities. The biggest impact

can be seen in accounting practice. The changes are becoming more and more complex as there are shifts in

business activities, such as in organization management, the concept of change management, and integration

activities making closer ties among suppliers, customers and even competitors.

Historically, information systems programs prepared students to work with functionally oriented business applications

such as payroll, accounts receivables, inventory management, etc. on the technology side, IS students could expect

to become familiar with computer applications related to these traditional business areas. (Computing Curricula 2005,

Information System).

The level of investment in IT is significant and continues to increase. Few organizations could operate for long today

without their IT infrastructure. IT enabled business investments, when managed well within an effective governance

framework, provide organizations with significant opportunities to create value. (ITGI, Enterprise Value : Governance

of IT Investment, 2006).

handle the above matters, as its outcomes are expected to be able to master accounting field and also information

technology for doing its function.
